Question

Felipe is planning a party. He has $50.00 to spend on sandwiches that cost $2.50 per person, $25.00 to spend on drinks that cost $1.50 per person, and $25.00 to spend on gift bags that cost $3.00 per person. Which expression could be used to show the amount of money he will have left over if x people attend the party?

Answer 1

The correct option is B)
`100-7x`.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Felipe has $50 to spend on sandwiches, $25 to spend on drinks and $25 to spend on gift bags.

Thus, the total money he has:

$50 + $25 + $25 = $100

Let x person attend the party.

Money spend on sandwiches are:

`2.50*{x}=2.50x`

Money spend on drinks are:

`1.50*{x}=1.50x`

Money spend on gift bags are:

`3*{x}=3x`

Thus, the total money she spend is:

`2.50x+1.50x+3x=7x`

Now, subtracting the money spend from total money.

`100-7x`

Thus, the correct option is B)
`100-7x`.

Answer 2

the answer would be B

100-7x

Since he can spend 50 +25+25 = 100

and 2.50+1.50+3.00 = 7.00
